Spent last weekend up in Pamplona visiting @osasuna_en. Budimir, Vicente Moreno, Arrasate's exit and what happens after the red carpet is rolled up. Many thanks to the many people who were very generous with their time.

Obviously players getting injured is bad news. Real Madrid unlikely to miss Lucas Vázquez too much against City - don't think he would've played much either.

Two or three times a match Pedri will go backwards, draw the defender, and then just go all the way around them and end up facing forward with a defender out the game and looking silly. If there's a player that most represents 'pausa' right now.

@kevvwill It's hard to think Real Madrid won't improve more. Equally Atleti have just five points from four games after winning 15 straight. None of them are reliable.

There was a stage where it seemed as if it was Raphinha on the right or nothing. And within that, was limited to one or two set moves. This season it seems like Flick can use him all across the pitch and rely on good results.

@kevvwill They took a similar approach to the games against Barcelona, PSG and Leverkusen. They showed a lot in those games at both ends, but all of them involved heroics. Asking heroics is making life hard for your players.

It's been an awful long time since Valencia looked that comfortable on the ball. Leganés were poor, Los Che won every second ball, but this win wouldn't have looked out of place 5-10 years ago at Mestalla. Signs of life from Sadiq too.

Real Madrid face major issues against sides that keep the ball against them, but Atleti looked for counters all game. Maybe the plan went wrong, but Atleti didn't find a way to pit their strong attack against Real Madrid's weak defence.

What a huge half from Valencia. All over Leganés by the end. Neat finish from Mosquera too. If they see this out, Corberán will have been responsible for 46% of Valencia's points in 26% of their Liga games.

@_Boggen @BecauseWeWin Not wrong. Atleti have been risk averse, but Real Madrid will need to take more of them.

Atleti haven't had too much from their academy in recent years, but Barrios is a proper midfielder.

That Fran Beltrán strike. Sweet is an understatement.
